Common questions
BEFORE YOU GET IN TOUCH
Do I need a Korean entity before I can sell in Korea?
The appropriate setup depends on your products, sales channels and planned activities in Korea. An initial assessment can help clarify the entry route and whether a local entity should form part of it. Any legal or tax requirements should be confirmed with the appropriate professionals.
Does KWG handle the visa application itself?
Regulated Korean immigration and administrative-agent services are handled by appropriately registered Korean professionals. KWG coordinates the broader Korea-entry process alongside those professionals.
Can you help with both the company and the people moving?
KWG’s business track supports market entry and business development, while the individual track coordinates support for people entering or relocating to Korea. The two tracks can be considered together so the commercial plans and the move are aligned.
